Blocked fallopian tubes can be a headache for many women, especially those who are planning to become pregnant during their childbearing years. Don't underestimate the fallopian tube, which seems to be an unimportant pipe, is actually an important part of the union of human sperm and egg, the ampulla of the fallopian tube is the place where sperm and egg are combined, so once the fallopian tube is blocked, the probability of sperm and egg combination will be greatly reduced.
Some people say, don't worry too much because the fallopian tubes are a pair, one side is blocked, and there is the other. But what if both sides are clogged? Moreover, for fallopian tube blockage, the most difficult clinical thing is how to do a good job of early diagnosis, that is, to identify whether it is due to fallopian tube problems, resulting in infertility. So, how do you know if the fallopian tubes are blocked? These 3 diagnostic methods may be easy to identify.
1. Patient's medical history
The fallopian tube is a special location, and many people may not know exactly where it is. In fact, the fallopian tubes are on both sides of the bottom of the uterus, connected to the uterus, and have two small openings near the uterine horns, while the other side of the fallopian tube is the umbrella end, which can pick up the eggs. For the diagnosis of fallopian tube blockage, the medical history of some patients can be used as a basis for diagnosis, such as previous pelvic adhesion surgery, or uterine evacuation due to miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy surgery, especially ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube.
Because these are high-risk factors for tubal blockage, these medical history can be used to draw more reliable conclusions when diagnosing tubal blockage.
2. Clinical manifestations
The clinical presentation of the patient is also an important basis for diagnosing fallopian tube occlusion. Clinically, many women choose to seek medical attention because they can't conceive at the age when they want to get pregnant, and the couple goes to the hospital for germ cell testing, as well as the potential endometrium, ovaries, and pelvis, etc., and all find that there is no problem.
At this time, combined with the patient's clinical manifestations, such as infertility, lower abdominal discomfort, etc., it is possible to consider whether there is an abnormality in the fallopian tube, and to consider the abnormality of the fallopian tube, it is usually to see whether it is blocked, which leads to infertility. In addition, if it is not general, it will be uncomfortable, so the inflammatory response in the lower abdomen can also cause related discomfort.
3. Laparoscopy
As we all know, laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical tool, and in terms of clinical use, laparoscopy is very powerful, and it can also be used for the diagnosis of fallopian tube blockage. Because the passage of the fallopian tube is very narrow, it is generally impossible to observe it with an endoscope, at this time, it can be seen whether the fallopian tube is cleared through the fluid through laparoscopic observation, if there is, it means that the fallopian tube is unobstructed, and vice versa, it means that the fallopian tube is blocked. In summary, laparoscopy is currently an important way to diagnose the presence or absence of fallopian tube blockage, and it can be considered for differentiation in women who suspect tubal blockage.
